I was completely baffled that this pedestrian cover from an even more pedestrian movie became UB40's biggest hit.
What's the movie?  And what's up with the live Dave 1993 announcement?

HM to album-cut Gin Blossoms.

starting early as well.

TFF breakin' it down -- if you count the times he's played this in the wrong year, it's def a frequent flyer.

It only appears in my Db in this year

that's amazing -- he's def played it in the wrong year at least 2 or 3 times, iirc. (I wanna say 1989 is the incorrect year of choice).

Sure you're not thinking of "Tears Roll Down," the single from their '91 GH comp?

At a bout 9:15 Dave mentioned that it was going tobe 1993 today, and he said that "it's going to be a really good set.  At least it looks good on paper."

Gin Blossoms "Mrs. Rita" is the only thing that remotely qualifies as looking good on paper as far as I'm concerned, so I'll have to give it a BOS.  Sure wish they'd stuck around longer and produced more albums.

One of two R&B songs from the '90s that Dave knows: Zhane, "Hey Mr. DJ."

Oops, I got the title wrong, didn't I?

I was thinking the computers had taken a crap again, but we just heard the SH6 bumper so they either rebooted fast, or Dave got caught without a 93 bumper cued up.
Let's get right to it.

Sliver.

Calling Sliver 'pedestrian' may well be the kindest review it ever got.

WOS2 Zhane -- sorry, another frequent flier and I *HATE* Dave's habit of playing the same 2 or 3 R&B records repeatedly in each late-'80s/early '90s year.

I was just looking at this in the Db and noting that it has only appeared in late Feb or early Mar, and so I was going to strongly predict hearing it today.  Too late to be psychic tho'

My bro' lives in Tempe, AZ, I recall seeing Gin Blossoms in small club there early 90's. Cool to see a group when they're just about to hit it big. Unfortunately one of their main guys killed himself, sealing the fate of their short run at the top.

BOS for Porno for Pyros.  No other song coming close.

Reluctant BOS to "Pets," Perry Farrell's second best moment (behind "Tahitian Moon").

BOS2 for me, which is one more BOS than I expected, frankly.
